aisa lagta hai ki kar dega ab aazad mujhe

mujhko gahrai mein miTTi ki utar jaana hai

dariya-dili se abr-e-karam bhi nahin mila

phir se badal ke miTTi ki surat karo mujhe

baadshahon ko sikhaya hai qalandar hona

kabhi KHushi se KHushi ki taraf nahin dekha

KHud apne hi hathon ka likha kaT raha hun

kisi ko ghar mila hisse mein ya koi dukan aai

almari se KHat uske purane nikal aae

sari daulat tere qadmon mein paDi lagti hai

sahra pe bura waqt mere yar paDa hai

KHafa hona zara si baat par talwar ho jaana

achchha hua ki mera nasha bhi utar gaya

KHun rulwaegi ye jangal-parasti ek din

han ijazat hai agar koi kahani aur hai
